I made one Astro theme, then somehow ended up with 20+
A while back I went looking for an Astro template actually built for publications: news sites, blogs, content-heavy stuff. Not another landing page kit with a blog tacked on. I couldn't find much I liked, so I built one for myself.
That one became a few. The few became over 20, somehow, without me really planning it that way.
I put them on Astro site with zero expectations. No audience, nothing. Two months ago I got my first sale, and now people are reaching out asking if I can set up their blog after buying one of my themes. That's the part that really threw me.
I'm not sharing this because the numbers are impressive, they're not. I'm sharing it because a year ago "build and sell my own theme catalog" was just a vague idea I kept putting off, and now it's turning into actual client work I didn't ask for.
If you've got something like that sitting on your own back burner, consider this a nudge. :-)
The catalog is here if you want to poke around: https://xocothemes.com. A handful of themes are free to try. Honest feedback on the design and UX is genuinely welcome, good or bad.
